RADIATOR.

Application filed October 14, 1922. Serial No. 594,489.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known'that I, MAURron I. FALLIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Arkansas City, in the county of Cowley and State of Kansas, have invented new'and useful Improvements in Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to radiators especially adapted for use in conjunction with the cooling systems of internal combustion engines.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a radiator of simple, light weight construction designed to insure free circu lation of the liquid to be cooled and provide the maximum area of radiation.

Another object of the invention is to construct a radiator of superposed complementary sections, each of which comprises a pair of plates having opposed depressions forming water pockets which are apertured and connected with the pockets of the adjacent sections to form vertical water passages.

A further object of the invention i to provide a radiator composed of sections which are inexpensive to manufacture and as a whole or part may be readily replaced should it be necessary to make repairs, thereby increasing its efliciency.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will'be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a radi ator constructed in accordancewith my iI1- vention,

Figure 2, is a fragmentary, partly sea tional, view of the radiator core, and

Figure 8, is a detail perspective view of the plates forming the sections of the core. In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration, I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates in general the core of my improved radiator which is rigidly mounted in the frame 6 of standard construction.

The core 5 comprises horizontal sections 7 arranged in superposed spaced relation which vary in length, width and number according to the size of the radiator. Each section is provided with a plurality of substantially flat water pockets 8, at

spaced intervals, which are placed in alinement and connected with the pockets of the adjacent sections forming vertical water passages. The sections 7 are built from longitudinal strips of sheet metal and comprise upper and lower plates 9 and 10 secured together along their marginal edges by means of solder. Dish-shaped depressions 11 are stamped or pressed outwardly from each plate at spaced intervals and the depressions of the upper plate are opposed to the depressions of the lower plate, iorming the pockets 8. The base of the depressions is flattened, as at 12, and provided with a central opening 13, to form a passage extending vertically through the pockets. The base of the depressions of each section abut the base of the depressions of the adjacent sections and are connected together by means of solder. This will provide a continuous vertical water passage, as the openings of each pocket are aligned with the openings of the adjoining pockets. The spacing of the pockets and horizontal sections will leave relatively large air passages 14, which completely encircle the water passages providing the maximum area or" cooling surface.

"When assembled the sections will be arranged in superposed relation and the pockets of each section will be in alinement to provide vertical passages for tree circulation of the water passing therethrough. The air, passing through the air passages will contact directly with the water passa es on all sides, thus insuring rapid heat issipation. To strengthen and protect the water passages from corrosion, the core is dipped in solder and owing to its open construction all the exposed parts will be thoroughly coated.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that certain changes in the shape, size, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the sub joined claim.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim A radiator core comprising a plurality of superposed complementary sections, each section composed of duplicate longitudinal plates joined together, and a plurality of opposed dish-shaped depressions pressed outwardly on each of said plates, at spaced intervals, forming a series of shallow hollow pockets having flattened aperturedencls and tapered Walls providing a substantially vertical passage through the pockets, said pockets having said ends abutting and connected to the ends of adjacent pockets of adjoining seetions in vsuch a mannerthat said, seotlons may be removed in a horizontal direction, the openings through the a'hut- MAURICE I.
